Jo Anne Rey is an Associate Lecturer (Research-focused) at Macquarie University's School of Natural Sciences, affiliated with the Global Indigenous Futures Research Centre and Housing and Urban Research Centre. As Director of Dharug Strategic Management Group Ltd., she specializes in Indigenous Studies with a focus on climate change, posthumanism, and decolonial methodologies. Her research integrates anthropological frameworks with Aboriginal Australian perspectives on Country (Ngurra), Ancestral histories, and environmental justice.
Rey's work emphasizes Indigenous relationalities in the Anthropocene, exploring topics like Living Law, ancestral presence, and sustainable practices through Dharug women's epistemologies. Her 2024 chapter in The Routledge Handbook of Australian Indigenous Peoples and Futures critiques colonial extractivism, while 2023 publications address global Indigenous networks and posthumanist theories. A podcast interview (2019) discusses her doctoral research on Dharug perspectives, revealing connections between land, culture, and activism.
Key contributions include analyzing hidden historical narratives impacting Dharug Country and advocating for localized climate solutions. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges anthropology, environmental science, and Indigenous philosophy, offering transformative frameworks for understanding human-environment relationships.
